A Wild Weekend!


Ni hau and hello to all! Just a friendly weekend update - hope that you all had a fun one as well!
Friday night was chilled; I surprised Lee with a really old movie that was one of his favourites as a kid, I hope you ALL know and love "La Bamba!" Saturday I worked until 5 which went well, except that one of my classes was so loud I actually had a headache from them :o( But then at night Lee and I checked out the Night Market here, and it was awesome! We walked around for 2 hours, checking out the shops of shoes, clothes, CDs, animals and had delicious BBQ dinner! Then at night we all came back to the dorm for some serious in-house drinking - my bottle of wine was the LEAST to get drunk! Everyone was off their rockers as we decided to hit up a bar around 1am; where the night took a very different turn...
We ended up at a Taiwanese karaoke bar! 6 of us were immediately greeted by a small yet friendly croud, serving us snacks and rounds of beer as we each took turns embarrassing ourselves on stage! Old 50s love songs had us crooning the night away, until an older man decided to take things a little too far with my friend Mychal. He would not leave her alone, and aggressively tried to get with her even after she pushed him away so hard that he fell down to the ground, twice! I ended up moving him out of the way as we left the bar, while Lee and the others joined us later. Back in the dorm at about 3am, some people passed out while others continued to drink the night, and most of the next day, away.
Sunday was tons of fun! Lee and I scooted our way over to the next little city and spent the afternoon shopping; I got two new beautiful sweaters in preparation for the cold weather coming, and we met up with some people for dinner at TGIFriday's!! It was a lavish and delicious dinner :o) Back home, I am currently missing my brother turn into a VERY OLD MAN of 27 years!!!
On my way to bed now, I look forward to hearing from all of you soon about your weekends too! Here is a picture of me, randomly, with the peel of a pamelo on my head! It is like a bigger and sweeter grapefruit, and this is actually the tradition here! As they say, when in Taiwan...!
